For some reason I'm getting a syntax error in the get_saved_data method. What am I missing?

After running python app.py, I get the following error

treehouse:~/workspace$ python app.py
File "app.py", line 10
except TypeError:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I've copied the contents of my app.py file in this public gist below, any thoughts on what I'm missing?
